This is the second time that Chester has been featured on 'I'll Try Not To Destroy You' and 'Palm Springs Reset' - the first being the Dead By Sunrise show at the end of last year. Usually he joins Julien-K for 'Technical Difficulties' but it looks like we have two new ones for him to sing on! Did anyone from LPLive make it to the show?

Check out the videos below:

Thoughts?

if LPLive was one person, it would be the guy from Webster Hall that yelled APFMH between every song

Cheez, manager for Sublime "But Brad is probably the most un-rock-and-roll dude I know. I mean, those headphones he wears on stage? He's not wearing those because they're monitors. They're like gun headphones so he can't hear anything. Who does that?"

<@Hahninatr> next julien-k show I go to im making a shirt that says "I AM NOT A FUCKING DUMBASS FROM THE JULIEN-K FORUMS, I ACTUALLY HAVE AN IQ"

Dudes, both songs are awesome! Chester should definetely be on the album personel...
Can someone please tell this guys he DEMAND the three JK songs feat. Chester on SDB quality? They make me anxious to know if they'll ever release this (just like acoustic DBS)...

...Ryan's playing in these two videos consists of nothing but basic first position chords (Em, G, Am, C, D...I think that was about it) that every student guitarist learns within their first couple months of playing. I've also yet to hear any evidence that Ryan is anything more than an average guitar player. He played powerchords 80% of the time in DBS songs and left anything with even a moderate degree of difficulty to Amir (same goes for Julien-K's first album), and Orgy's guitar parts were always more about making interesting noises than actually playing guitar in a conventional manner.

Amir is a different story, he's shown quite frequently that he's a pretty creative guitar player who comes up with a lot of interesting lead work, but Ryan's playing that I've seen over the years is about on par with most high school-aged kids who have been playing for a few years.

On another note, this is the first time I have listened to any of Julien-K's material from their new album (which I only did because I was curious to see how Chester contributed to the live performances), and I think both of these songs could put me to sleep.

@lplive Contrary to popular belief, none of us actually know what we're talking about. FYI

I'm glad I wasn't the only one. Granted, I still intend to listen to the entire album because I did love Death To Analog, but these two songs are pretty meh.
